JESUS AT THE WINDOW
A little boy visited his grandparents on their farm. He was given a
slingshot to play with in the woods. He practiced, but couldn't hit the
target. Getting discouraged, he headed back to dinner. As he walked
back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Out of impulse, he let the slingshot
fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and
grieved.
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister
watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch that day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes."
But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the
kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny
did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing.
Grandma said, "I'm sorry, but I need Sally to help make supper."
Sally smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he
wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally
went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing his own chores and Sally's, he could
stand it no longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed
the duck. Grandma knelt beside Johnny and said, "I know. I was standing
at the window and I saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you.
I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."
Thought for the day:
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done that the enemy throws in
your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger,unforgiveness, bitterness,
etc.), whatever it is, Jesus Christ was standing at the window and saw
the whole thing. He wants you to know He loves you and that you are
forgiven. He wonders how long you will let the enemy make a slave of you.
Remember, God not only forgives you, He forgets.
Make the difference in someone's life today. Share this with a family
member or friend. Jesus is at the window.
